About Us

A major independent review of NSW Health's largest disability support service was undertaken in 2006.

The review recommended that a single, statewide service be created with the aim of significantly improving equipment support services for people with a disability in NSW, including:

reduced waiting times

fairer access no matter where you live

greater efficiency and integration of services

improvements in customer service

better support for clinical prescribers

on-time payments to suppliers

EnableNSW was established in 2007 to implement the major reforms based on recommendations made in the PricewaterhouseCoopers "Review of the Program of Appliances for Disabled People (PADP)" that were supported by NSW Government.

The EnableNSW team is based in Parramatta in Western Sydney. Our Service Centre officers receive thorough, ongoing training to ensure they can provide the highest standard of service.
